How do I generate the range of data to be written to in an excel sheet dynamically when using XLSWRITE in a loop in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b) ?

I would like to write to a new range of data cells in an excel sheet, based on the loop index (with a for loop), dynamically.

GENVARNAME can be used to dynamically generate the range of cells to which data is written, in the following manner:

 A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6] 
 for i = 1:2 
 varname = genvarname(['A' i]); 
 xlswrite('testing.xls',A(i,:),'Sheet1',varname); 
 end

If it helps, I just published a function on the File Exchange that will enable you to calculate Excel ranges if you know your start cell (or range), the row and column offsets and the row/column size you want. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/30180-calculate-excel-range
